2.1 General Safety Instructions
Operating the machine is only permissible after gaining familiarity with the
relevant manual. (Ang makina ay maaari lamang na patakbuhin pagkatapos
maging pamilyar ang gagamit sa manual.)
Utilize the machine only for its intended purpose. (Gamitin lamang ang makina
para sa inilaan nitong layunin).)
In case of malfunction, immediately stop the machine. (Kapag nagkaroon ng
depekto sa makina, agad na itigil o patayin ang makina.)
Faults should be corrected by the appropriate trained personnel. (Ang mga
bihasang tauhan lamang ang maaaring magtama sa mga problemang
mangyayari.)
The initial installation involves setting up the machine and its connection. The following
details highlight the crucial aspects to be noted during the installation process. (Ang
panimulang instalasyon ay kinapapalooban ng pag set-up ng makina at mga koneksyon
nito. Ang sunusunod na impormasyon ay naglalahad ng mga mahahalagang aspeto na
dapat tandaan sa oras ng instalasyon.)
3.1 Checks Prior to Installation and Connection
The electrical connections supply voltage according to the fabricator’s identification
level. (Ang mga koneksyon sa kuryente ay nagbibigay ng boltahe ayon sa label na
isinaad ng fabricator.)
Before installation at the designated location, ensure that energy and supply
connections are prepared and readily accessible. The energy sources should meet the
specifications for the respective machine and be free from any defects. (Bago ang pag-
install sa itinakdang lokasyon, siguruhing handa at madaling ma-access ang mga
koneksyon ng enerhiya at suplay. Ang mga pinagmulang enerhiya ay dapat na sumunod
sa mga tatak ng mga espesipikasyon para sa naaangkop na makina at dapat na walang
depekto.)

4.1 Description of the Machine
The semi-automated pottery workstation using control panel consists of a motor and
speed control system, a rotating plate, a sliding space for finished pots, clay container
and for water container. Speed control serves a significant feature for adjusting the
rotational speed of the pottery wheel, allowing artisans to achieve varying levels of
precision and control during the shaping process. The sliding space for finished pots
serve as a designated area where completed pottery pieces can be temporarily stored
after they have been shaped. This sliding space can accommodate 18 pieces of small
pots. This pottery workstation combines manual and automated processes to enhance
efficiency and precision in pottery production.
4.2 Identification of Controls
Identification of controls includes the controls used in the operation of the
workstation. Below are the controls necessary that are used to operate: (Kabilang sa
bahaging ito ang mga control na ginamit sa pagpapatakbo ng workstation. Nasa ibaba
ang mga control na kinakailangan upang gumana:)
a. On-off control – enables the worker to start and stop the machine’s operation.
b. Speed Control – allows the worker to adjust the speed of the pottery wheel.
4.3 Machine Operation Instructions
The instructions for operating the machine are detailed in this section, essential for
providing operators with the necessary knowledge on how to correctly utilize the
workstation. Adhering to these instructions will ensure the safety of the worker. The
operation instructions for the workstation are outlined as follows: (Ang mga tagubilin
para sa operasyon ng makina ay nakasaad sa seksyong ito. Mahalaga ito upang bigyan
ng kaalaman ang manggagawa kung paano gamitin nang wasto ang workstation. Ang
pagsunod sa mga tagubiling ito ay tiyak na magbibigay din ng kaligtasan ng
manggagawa. Ang mga tagubiling pang-operasyon para sa workstation ay ang mga
sumusunod:)
a. Plug in the workstation to a proper power source then press the power button to
activate the workstation. (Isaksak ang workstation sa tamang power source
pagkatapos pinduting ang power button upang gumana ang workstation.)
b. Place the appropriate amount of clay on the pottery wheel according to the
desired size of the creation.
c. Use the speed control to set the desired rotation speed of the pottery wheel.
(Gamitin ang speed control para itakda ang nais na bilis ng pag-ikot ng pottery
wheel.)
d. Shape and mold the clay using your hands as per the desired design. (Hulmahin
ang clay gamit ang kamay upang mabuo ito sa naaayon na disenyo.)
e. When finished shaping, set the rotation to the zero-speed setting. (Kapag tapos
na paghulma, sandaling ihinto muna ang pag-ikot ng pottery wheel.)
5. Maintenance Instructions
5.1 General
Ensuring proper maintenance is essential for personnel safety, smooth equipment
operation, and prolonged performance. Regular maintenance is necessary for each
machine or equipment to ensure equipment safety, achieve optimal output, and prevent
costly downtime. Neglecting to follow proper maintenance procedures outlined in the
manual can result in unsafe conditions and reduce the machine’s lifespan. (Ang tamang
maintenance ay mahalaga para sa kaligtasan ng mga manggagawa, mabisang
operasyon ng kagamitan, at pangmatagalang performance. Kinakailangan ang regular
na maintenance para sa bawat makina o kagamitan upang tiyakin ang kaligtasan nito,
magbigay ng magandang kalidad na produkto at upang maiwasan ang magastos na
downtime. Ang pagkakaligtaan sa pagsunod sa tamang mga hakbang sa maintenance
na nakasaad sa manual ay maaaring magresulta sa hindi ligtas na kondisyon at
mapadali ang buhay ng kagamitan.)
a. Disengaged welded parts are to be repaired only by a skilled welder for stainless
welding. (Ang mga natanggal na welded na bahagi ay kukumpunihin lamang ng
isang bihasang welder.)
b. Servicing electronics and electrical parts particularly motor, power supply and
controller are only for authorized electronics technicians/electrical technicians
only. (Ang pag-aayos ng mga electronics at electrical na bahagi lalo na ang mga
motor, power supply at controller ay para lamang sa awtorisadong electronics
technician o electrical technicians lamang.)
b. Pottery Wheel
Clean the wheel surface after each use to remove clay residue. (Linisin ang ibabaw
ng pottery wheel pagkatapos gamitin upang maalis ang mga labis na clay.)
Ensure proper alignment of the wheel to prevent wobbling during operation.
Replace worn out or damaged parts as needed, such as bearings or belts.
